Barbados – Part 15 – The Views From Above

Yesterday, I shared my underwater views of Barbados. Barbados – Part 13 – Below Sea Level Today, I will share the views from above sea level. There were some pretty spectacular views all around.

The weather forecast called for clouds, sunshine and rain everyday. And this was what we got everyday too. One minute it would be cloudy, then a little rain, then sunshine. We got hit with a downpour on our last evening, but the rest of the time we were there, at most all we got were light showers that lasted about 5-10 minutes. Then it was back to clouds and sunshine.

The final view from above; this time. We will be back again. 🙂

The sand was like powder. It was so clean and soft. And as you can see, the water was bright turquoise and about 84* F or 29*C . The inland was green and lush, like a forest. Barbados is a beautiful island with lots to see and do. It is definitely a do-over, again and again. I am almost done with my Barbados series. Just a little more, then this one too will be done, for now.

This one is for my daddy. He was in the Merchant Marines his whole life and sailed the 7 seas his whole career. He loved the sea. I get my love of the ocean from him. When he passed away, we scattered his ashes at sea, with a sailors prayer. So now, every time I see a tanker ship, I wave. I know my daddy is there on deck, waving back at me. I know my daddy is right there with me, watching over me just like always.

As you all know scuba diving is my passion. Larry likes it, but it is NOT his passion. We hadn’t been diving for too long when Larry asked me why I loved it so much. My response was because EVERY time I go down into the ocean, my daddy is right there with me; he’s in all the fish, the sand, the water and the corals. I always feel loved and safe when under water, because my daddy is always right there with me, diving right by my side.
